UBS Arena and hospitality partner Delaware North today announced their lineup of new concessions items ahead of the New York Islanders 2023-24 NHL season.
“Our culinary team, led by Executive Chef Ted Donnelly, really went above and beyond during the offseason to create some fresh, regionally inspired food and beverage offerings,” said Anthony Kleinman, Delaware North’s general manager at UBS Arena. “We know our fans love the orange and blue, and we try to incorporate fun into everything we do.”
Building off the success of UBS Arena’s culinary program since the venue’s opening in 2021, this year’s additions to the menu at the building include welcoming a new partner in Burgerology with their popular burgers and shakes, as well as exciting takes on sandwiches, more sharable options and fresh new cocktails.
“We’re excited to welcome back our guests for the 2023-24 New York Islanders season,” said Mike Sciortino, UBS Arena General Manager. “These new items give fans a wide range of options, tastes and flavors plus add a great, team-centric spin on some classic favorites.”
